Description
Summary:Getting to this point will require: increased awareness; higher expectations for the quality and quantity of descriptive data recorded; improved standards, ontologies and databases; proof of the value of downstream analyses; and widespread practical changes, such as use of hand-held devices for recording real-time contextual information (and, in the future, for generating data) in the field.
